Full Moon Party

HIGHLIGHTS

- Surprise reunion with Cakes on the ferry to Ko Phanang.

- Met up with Guy and Jules again and joined them at the resort they were staying at that's straight out of MTV Spring Break.

- Watched fireworks and floating Chinese lanterns from the balcony.

LOWLIGHTS

- So there's this giant party on this island every full moon. We went just to witness it. It's like 80,000 ppl on the beach or something ridiculous. Anyway, backpackers in swimsuits everywhere and neon body paint and techno. Eesh. An experience, to say the least. The lowlight, which is secretly a highlight, was that my tummy wasn't feeling the best so I got to go back to the hotel and chill instead. I enjoyed the party from afar.

- Yet another day o' travel to get there. Boat to tuk-tuk to bus to another bus to ferry to tuk-tuk. The last tuk-tuk was straight out of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, made worse by the fact that driving on the left side of the road makes it look even more like head-on collisions will be the result of every sharp curve.
